Third pass: the strings libraries build and views render raw
2026-09-03 14:01:53 -07:00
jcoffey-dev be088ed78d Third pass: the strings libraries build and views render raw
A sweep of lib/ and store/ for user-facing English, after the views were done.
The pattern here is the one #248 found: a module returns an English sentence
and the view renders it without asking for a translation.

Scheduled send was entirely untranslated. The four presets -- Later today,
Tomorrow morning, Tomorrow afternoon, Monday morning -- were rendered raw, and
scheduleError() returned three English sentences straight to the picker.
describeSpan() built "30 days" by appending an "s" unless the count was one,
which is English grammar written into the code: it produces the right German
only by the two languages happening to agree, and Russian needs three forms.
It is plural() now. scheduleError translates in place rather than returning a
key, because it composes a sentence around that span.

Read receipts: refusalText() returns five explanations, all rendered raw in
MessageView, and the offered case was a template literal -- "Requested, to
x@y. Never sent automatically." -- with the address concatenated in. It takes
a placeholder now, so the sentence can be reordered.

Compose: the sending toast and its Undo, the Open draft action, the two
attachment failures, and three thrown errors that surface to the reader as
toasts.

Two swipe labels, Add star and Remove star, are rendered through
t(desc.label) and have never been in any catalogue -- the coverage scan that
found the other 176 only looked at t("literal") sites, so labels reaching t()
through a variable were invisible to it. Every such table is now enumerated
and all 61 values checked: these two were the only ones missing.

17 strings and 3 plural forms are new and land with each language.

Verified: typecheck clean, 1000 tests pass.

jcoffey-dev b10149fd54 Translate three lists the code was rendering raw
A native speaker reviewing the German catalogue reported strings appearing in
English (#247). Three of the reported areas turned out not to be missing
translations at all: the strings were there, and the code was rendering the
English source instead of asking for one.

The Sieve rule dialog rendered HEADER_CHOICES and HEADER_OPS labels directly.
All sixteen are already in every catalogue -- "Subject" has been "Betreff" in
de.ts all along, which is exactly the inconsistency the reporter noticed
against the Out-of-office page, where it already reads Betreff. Wrapping the
two dropdowns fixes nine languages at once and adds nothing to any catalogue.

The keyboard shortcut panel rendered each binding's group and description
directly. Those are registered in English at the call sites and should stay
that way -- the binding table is data and the English is the catalogue key --
so the panel translates them at render instead. A binding added anywhere is
then translatable without its registrar knowing i18n exists.

The palette grid marks every name translate="no". That is right for ihasmail,
Dracula, Gruvbox, Rosé Pine and Tokyo Night, which are names. "Classic" is an
adjective describing the theme, not a name, so PaletteMeta gains a
`translatable` flag for the one entry that is a word. Flagging the exception
beats dropping the attribute from all six.

No catalogue changes here: the strings the first two need are already present
in all nine. "Classic" needs an entry, which lands with each language.

jcoffey-dev cfcaf5f573 Call the instance what it calls itself, on the page that matters most
APP_NAME is a runtime variable and two of the three places showing the name
ignored it. The sign-in page fetched /api/config, received the name and used
only sourceUrl -- so a rebranded deployment still said "ihasmail" on the one
page a new user meets first. The top bar had it written in. Only the document
title read it, and it had been reading it from the session all along.

The rebranding guide documents both as things to patch yourself, one of them
with "if you change nothing else on this page, change this". It should not
have to.

The sign-in page takes the name from the answer it was already getting. The
top bar takes it from the session, where the title has taken it from since it
was written. Neither is a new request.

One shared default rather than the string written out at three call sites,
because three copies of a default is how two of them end up stale. It stands
if the config request fails, since a sign-in form with no name on it would be
worse than one with the wrong name -- and an empty or non-string name falls
back too, so a deployment that sets APP_NAME= does not get a nameless page.

Confirmed with APP_NAME set to something else: sign-in heading, top bar and
tab title all read it.

jcoffey-dev 483aac849a Go to a folder by name, with g then o
Requested in #233. The `g` shortcuts cover the handful of folders every
account has -- inbox, sent, drafts -- and nothing reaches the dozens a Sieve
rule fills, which is where somebody with a real folder tree spends their time.
`g o` opens the picker, you type part of a name, and you are there.

The picker is the one the move action already uses, with one difference that
only shows up on shared mail: it selected folders by `mayAddItems`, which is
right for a destination and wrong for a place to go. A shared folder you may
read but not file into is somewhere you can visit. The right is now a
parameter, named for what it is asking rather than for which caller wants it.

Hosted in AppShell rather than in the mail view, because the `g` shortcuts are
global and the mail view is not mounted to hear about it -- pressing this from
the calendar should still take you to a folder, and now does.

`o` on its own opens a conversation and does not clash: a pending prefix is
tried before a bare key. That was already true and nothing said so, so there
are now five tests for the sequence machinery -- including that an abandoned
prefix costs the prefix and not the keystroke after it, which is the nicer
behaviour of the two and was undocumented.

Checked in a browser against the mock: opened from the calendar, filtered to a
nested folder, landed on it, and `o` still opened a conversation afterwards.

Closes #233.

jcoffey-dev c31a653a04 Apply installation policy changes once each, per account
The last third of #207, and the only part that remembers anything.

An admin turns a setting on for people who are already here -- which a default
cannot do, since a default only seeds an account that has none -- and readers
may still turn it back off afterwards, which enforcement does not allow. The
difference between the two is entirely in the remembering.

Each change carries its own version, and an account stores the ones it has had
in its own settings file. Ids rather than a high-water mark, so a change dated
earlier than one already applied is not silently skipped -- the reporter's
analogy is a schema migration, and this is that shape.

Per account rather than per device, because ihasmail's settings are not
browser-local: they live in a file in the reader's own JMAP Files, with the
browser holding a cache. Signing in on a phone does not apply everything a
second time.

A change reaches somebody who had already decided otherwise. That is intended
and confirmed on the issue: the point is to reach everybody who is already
here. It is applied once, and their next decision sticks.

One `update` for however many are pending, since each would otherwise push a
settings file of its own. Enforced values still win, being applied after. A
change whose settings this build does not have at all is dropped rather than
recorded, or it would never run on the ihasmail that does have them.

The reader is told. A setting moving under somebody without a word is the part
of this worth being uneasy about, so the count is toasted with a way into
Settings.

README gains the Docker half the user asked for: a mounted policy file, the
same thing as environment variables for a deployment with no volume, a compose
fragment, and the fact that a policy is read once at startup so editing it
means a restart.

Closes #207.

jcoffey-dev 457ea53ca3 Let an installation seed and lock user settings
The first two thirds of #207. A school wanting "warn about outside senders"
on for three thousand pupils cannot ask three thousand pupils, and the
reporter is right that this is a company policy rather than a preference.

Two powers, and the difference between them is the whole request. `defaults`
seed an account that has never had settings of its own and can be changed
afterwards like anything else -- a starting point, not a rule. `enforced` are
reapplied on every load and cannot be changed at all.

Enforced controls stay visible and go dead, with a line saying why. The issue
asked for that by name: a control that is simply missing reads as a bug to
somebody who has used ihasmail without a policy.

The lock is in the settings store rather than only on the controls. There is
one door -- `update` -- and putting it there means an imported settings file,
a settings file synced from a device that predates the policy, and a control
somebody adds later and forgets to check are all covered by construction.
Reset goes back to the installation's answer rather than to ihasmail's, so it
cannot be a way around a policy either.

Configured by environment variable or by a file, because ihasmail's own
production runs read-only with no volume: an installation that cannot mount a
file can still set a variable. Keys this build does not have are dropped, the
same rule an imported settings file already gets -- a policy written against a
newer ihasmail must not put a setting nothing reads into everybody's synced
settings file. Malformed JSON stops the server rather than quietly doing
nothing, since a policy that silently did not apply is indistinguishable from
the feature not working.

Tier three -- enforcing a setting once while still letting readers change it
afterwards -- is not here. It needs a decision the reporter and I have not
made yet, and it is the only part that stores anything new.

jcoffey-dev 0e58b886b5 Define the zones an export names, instead of only naming them
#227 emitted TZID with the IANA name and nothing defining it, on the reasoning
that every client resolves those names and that generating a definition would
mean shipping a zone database. Both halves were wrong.

Measured, not assumed. Run an export through ical.js -- Mozilla's own
iCalendar library, the one Thunderbird's calendar uses -- and a TZID with no
VTIMEZONE beside it does not resolve: it falls back to floating time. A 09:00
in Phoenix then reads as 09:00 wherever the file is opened, seven hours out,
silently, on every timed event in every export.

    as exported            | zone: floating        | UTC: 09:00Z
    with a VTIMEZONE added | zone: America/Phoenix | UTC: 16:00Z

The database was already here, too. The browser has IANA behind Intl, and an
offset for an instant is a formatting question: format the instant into the
zone, read the clock back, and the difference is the offset. Transitions are
found by walking month by month for the ones where the answer changes and
bisecting inside them -- no rules are known, so none can be got wrong.

Each transition is its own dated sub-component rather than an RRULE. More
lines and no cleverness: a derived rule that is subtly wrong moves somebody's
meeting, while a list of dates can only be incomplete at its ends, which is
what the window is for -- the year before the earliest event to ten years past
the latest, an open-ended weekly meeting being the case that needs it.

A zone Intl does not know is left undefined rather than described from
nothing; the TZID stays on the event, which is where it was. TZNAME is dropped
where Intl offers "GMT+9", which only repeats the offset beside it.

Confirmed the same way it was found. Berlin now resolves to +0200 in September
and +0100 in December, so the transitions are being applied and not just an
offset.

jcoffey-dev 1a6158aa70 Export a calendar as an iCAL file
The mirror of the import from #173, and the last thing contacts had that
calendars did not -- an address book could always be exported, a calendar
never could.

It is written here rather than asked for. The import hands parsing to the
server because Stalwart has a CalendarEvent/parse and reimplementing an .ics
reader in a browser would be foolish; there is no method the other way, in
Stalwart or in the JMAP calendar drafts, so the file is built from the RFC
8984 objects the server already returns. Most of that is renaming: 8984 was
written as a restatement of 5545, and the comments say which way it went
wherever the two disagree.

The masters, not the occurrences. The query runs without expandRecurrences,
so a weekly meeting leaves as one VEVENT carrying its RRULE rather than as a
year of identical ones -- an export that had flattened the rule would import
somewhere else as a pile nobody can maintain. A changed occurrence goes out
as its own VEVENT with the same UID and a RECURRENCE-ID, which is how
iCalendar has always said it; a cancelled one becomes an EXDATE.

Three decisions worth stating rather than leaving to be found:

No VTIMEZONE components. A TZID names the IANA zone the server holds and
nothing defines it beside it, because defining it means shipping a zone
database to describe rules the reader's own system already knows. Every
client that matters resolves IANA names. The alternative -- converting to
UTC -- would be worse than a validator's complaint: a weekly 09:00 that
becomes 08:00 for half the year is a wrong calendar.

UNTIL follows DTSTART's kind, a date for an all-day series and a UTC instant
otherwise. Sending a local time there is the usual way to make a series stop
a day early in another timezone.

Overrides are applied at the top level only. A recurrence override is a JSON
patch, and one addressing locations/x/name is not something this flattens.

Closes #216.

jcoffey-dev 4a99b77bc3 Highlight saving, not discarding, on the unsaved-changes guard
The guard shipped with "Discard changes" as the only choice carrying a
colour -- a filled red button, against a plain outlined "Save changes" --
which made losing the work the loudest thing in a dialog whose entire
purpose is to stop that. The emphasis belongs on the safe answer.

A dialog choice can now be marked `primary`, and Save is. Discard keeps its
`danger` flag, but a danger choice is drawn the way `.menu-item.danger`
already is: a red label on the ordinary surface. In a list of answers a
filled red button is not "this one is destructive", it is "this one is the
default", which is the opposite of what it meant here.

That rendering change reaches the other choice dialog too -- the calendar's
"this occurrence or the whole series", where both answers are marked danger
because both delete something. Two filled red buttons become two red labels
and nothing is highlighted, which is right: neither answer there is the safe
one, so neither should look like it.

Checked in the browser against the mock, in both themes. Light: #dc2626 on
white, 4.8:1. Dark: the theme's own --danger, which every palette already
tunes for contrast on this surface.

Reported on #175 by the reporter's colleague, who is right that the
non-destructive action is the one that normally gets the highlight.

Move an event by the days the hand moved it, not to the date dropped on
2026-09-02 01:11:53 -07:00
jcoffey-dev 7b3069e41b Move an event by the days the hand moved it, not to the date dropped on
Dragging an event across the month grid wrote the date of the cell it
landed on into the event's stored start. Those are the same date only
while the event's time zone is the reader's.

An event kept in Asia/Tokyo at 15:00 is drawn to a reader in Phoenix at
23:00 the previous evening. Dropped on the 11th, it was written as the
11th in Tokyo -- which is the 10th on screen. It went where its own
calendar said rather than where the pointer did, one day short, every
time.

Moving by the difference between the two local days instead moves it
exactly as far as the hand did, and adding whole days to a stored wall
clock leaves the time of day alone without touching the zone -- so the
frame the rest of this path is careful about is still not crossed.

Found by giving the mock an event in a zone that is not the machine's.
Every other fixture used the machine's own, which cannot tell a correct
conversion from no conversion at all: the case that works is the one the
fixtures were all testing.

jcoffey-dev 44b676c55d Name the push verification entry absolutely, from both sides
A JMAP push subscription stays silent until the client echoes back a
verification code. When the code arrives with no tab open, the service
worker leaves it in the cache for the next tab to collect.

Both sides named that entry relatively, and a relative key is resolved
against the URL of whoever is asking. The worker lives at <base>/sw.js, so
it wrote under <base>/; a tab at /mail/inbox/abc looked under
/mail/inbox/. They agreed only when the open page happened to be the root,
which is why this survived: the case that works is the one people try
first.

The failure is quiet in the worst way. A subscription that never gets its
code back simply never delivers, which is indistinguishable from push not
working at all -- there is no error anywhere to notice.

Both sides now build the key from the mount: the worker from the BASE it
already derives from its own location, the page through withBase. Found
while adding BASE_PATH, where the two disagree at every route rather than
only at deep ones; left alone then because it was pre-existing and
unrelated to that change.

Subscribe to a calendar published at a URL
2026-09-02 00:54:55 -07:00
jcoffey-dev 4d18d94b63 Subscribe to a calendar published at a URL
A timetable, a rota, a public holiday list: the calendars people are given
as a link, which ihasmail could not show at all.

Nothing is stored. The document is fetched when the calendar is opened and
parsed in the browser; the server keeps no copy, no cache and no schedule,
which is what lets an immutable container serve this. There is no timer
either -- there is nowhere to run one -- so the guarantee is that a
subscription is as current as the last time somebody looked, which is also
when it matters. That is said plainly rather than implied.

The fetch has to happen on the server: a calendar URL belongs to whoever
published it and almost none of them send CORS headers. That makes it the
second place this app knocks on a door somebody else chose, so the guard
the image proxy has always had was lifted out and both now call it. A
second SSRF implementation is how one of them ends up missing a case; this
way there is one, and the extraction is covered by the image proxy's own
tests still passing unchanged.

webcal: is understood, because that is how these are published, and it is
read as https: rather than waved past the checks -- a webcal URL pointing
at loopback is refused exactly like an http one.

Recurrence is deliberately not expanded. RRULE is a small language with a
lot of edge cases, and a subscription quietly showing the wrong dates would
be worse than one showing the first occurrence and saying so.

The parser is a subscription parser rather than an importer: a subscribed
calendar is read-only and redrawn from scratch each refresh, so nothing has
to round-trip or survive an edit, which is most of what makes a full
iCalendar implementation large. What it does have to do is never mis-state
a time -- a DATE is built in local time rather than at UTC midnight, which
would land on the day before for anyone west of Greenwich -- and never hang
on a document somebody else wrote.

Events go through instancesIn like the birthdays, so no view has to know
they are not real calendars, and the calendar they hang off reports no
write rights, so everything that asks before offering an edit declines on
its own. A subscription that cannot be read says so in the sidebar rather
than drawing an empty calendar, which looks like a calendar with nothing
in it.

jcoffey-dev a30f96f76b Drag an event to move it, and its edge to resize it
The calendar could only be edited through the editor, so moving a meeting
half an hour meant opening a dialog, changing two fields and saving. Every
other surface a finger or a pointer drives already answers to a drag.

In the day and week grids an event moves by dragging it and changes length
by dragging its bottom edge, snapping to fifteen minutes. In the month
grid it moves to another day and keeps the time it had, because a month
cell is a day and nothing finer -- changing the hour as well would answer
a question nobody asked.

It goes through the same path a menu edit takes. A recurring event is
asked which dates it means, and the answer runs through runScoped, so a
date the server will only change as part of a whole series offers that
rather than failing.

Three things do not offer a drag, and the reasons are checked in one place
so no grid has to remember all three: a read-only calendar, an event with
no calendar, and a birthday -- which is derived from a contact and has
nothing on the server to move. The reserved classes the swipe gesture was
told to keep out of are exactly the ones that are draggable here, which is
what that reservation was for.

Invitations are not sent. A drag is a scheduling gesture, and mailing
every guest on each nudge of a block is not what the hand was asking for;
a change that should go out with notice goes through the editor.

The new time is computed in the event's own frame rather than through an
instant. Working it out from the reader's local hours and then
re-expressing it in the event's zone converts twice, and the two do not
cancel: caught in the browser, where an event moved two hours the first
time it was dragged in the month grid and then sat still, because after
that its stored time and the reader's agreed. Parsing the stored string
into its parts and adding minutes to those touches no zone at all, and a
resize sends only a duration, so the question does not arise there either.

jcoffey-dev 9aa0eda0d5 Six palettes, each with a light half and a dark one
The theme was one enum -- system, light, dark, ihasmail -- where one value
carried a whole palette and implied dark. That works for exactly one
palette. The two questions now come apart: which palette, and which side.

Classic is the plain light and dark this app has always had. ihasmail's
own palette gains a day version, so the background of the dark one becomes
the text of the light one and the two read as one palette from either end.
Dracula, Gruvbox, Rosé Pine and Tokyo Night are the work of their own
projects, used under the MIT licence, and taken from each project's own
repository rather than from anyone's reimplementation. What was fetched is
recorded in .palette-sources/ and credited in NOTICE.

Giving ihasmail's palette a light half removed a whole special case.
Nothing is one-sided any more, so a palette can no longer override the
mode, the toggle no longer has to set a palette aside on the way to light
and remember it, and the greyed-out control that explained all that is
gone. The old lastDarkTheme, which existed only for that, is gone with it.

The shades between the published colours are derived rather than guessed:
these projects publish twelve to twenty values and ihasmail needs about
thirty. scripts/build-palettes.py computes the tiers and then measures
every text colour against the surface it sits on -- 4.5:1 for prose, 3:1
for borders and marks -- lifting anything short towards white on a dark
ground and towards black on a light one, so a lifted tier keeps its hue.
It refuses to write a palette that would not pass.

Every one of the nine halves needed at least one lift. These palettes are
built for code editors, not for prose at this size: Dracula's comment grey
is 3.03:1 on its own background and Rosé Pine's gold is 2.7:1 on Dawn.
Shipping them as published would have quietly ended the WCAG AA claim.

Two things caught while checking rather than while writing. The generated
blocks were appended to the end of the stylesheet, which put them after
the accent variants at equal specificity -- so choosing an accent over one
of the new palettes did nothing at all. They now sit before those rules,
where the existing ihasmail block's own comment says they have to. And
that block was unqualified, so it would have shadowed the new light half;
it is now explicitly the dark one.

Settings written before this carry `theme` and no palette, and are read
through the old enum. `theme` is still written back, derived, because a
device on an older build reads it and would otherwise be stranded on a
theme nobody chose.

jcoffey-dev 34fc5ab81f Let the message list be sorted by something other than the date
Newest-first was the only order, so the mail you had not read yet was
wherever it happened to fall.

Seven presets and up to three levels of your own. It covers the Inbox
alone by default: unread-first is what people want in the folder they
triage and confusing in Sent, where everything is read and the order that
matters is when it went. Search keeps newest-first whatever the setting
says, since a result list is already ordered by the question that was
asked.

The server does the sorting, over the whole folder, for the same reason
search runs there: a list sorted in the browser is sorted only as far as
the browser has loaded, which on a folder of ten thousand is the first
fifty and a lie about the rest.

Two details that are easy to get wrong and were worth pinning in tests.
hasKeyword sorts a boolean and false comes before true, so "unread first"
is $seen ASCENDING while "starred first" is $flagged DESCENDING -- the
other way round. Getting either backwards puts exactly the mail you were
looking for at the bottom. And every order ends with newest-first as a
tiebreak, because a sort whose last level is a keyword or a subject leaves
every tie undefined, and an undefined order changes between two looks at
the same folder for no reason the reader can see.

Sorting on a keyword is optional in RFC 8621, and a server that will not
do it fails the whole query rather than degrading it -- so this setting
could turn a folder into one that does not open. The refusal is caught
once, the keyword levels dropped and the query retried, and nothing is
said: the reader asked for an order and got the closest the server can
give, and a toast on every folder change would be the app complaining
about its own request.

The mock now honours the sort instead of always answering newest-first,
which had it reproducing a server that silently returns a different order
from the one asked for -- the one shape of wrongness a client cannot
detect. MOCK_NO_KEYWORD_SORT=1 reproduces a server that refuses the
keyword sorts, so the fallback can be developed against.

jcoffey-dev c9ab203b76 Show birthdays from the address book as a calendar
The dates were already on the contact cards and nothing ever showed them,
so the one thing a birthday is for -- noticing it in time -- was the one
thing the app could not do with it.

Derived, not stored. The dates stay on the cards: a second copy of the
same fact drifts the first time somebody corrects one, and keeping a
calendar of its own is exactly what ihasmail does not do. Entries are
generated when a view asks for a range and vanish when the contact does.
They go through instancesIn like everything else, so no view has to know
they are different.

Off until switched on. It is derived data, and a calendar that fills
itself with dates nobody put there is a surprise rather than a feature. It
can also be hidden from the calendar's own sidebar without being turned
off, which is the same distinction the shared calendars already draw.

They cannot be edited or deleted, and that falls out of the design rather
than being special-cased: the virtual calendar reports no write rights, so
every control that already asks before offering Edit or Delete declines on
its own. updateEvent and destroyEvent refuse a synthesised id as well, so
the store is safe whatever calls it -- including anything added later.

Two things about the dates themselves. A card that records only a day and
month is the common case rather than the exceptional one, and gets a
birthday with no age rather than no birthday. And 29 February falls on the
28th in a year that has no 29th: somebody born in February has a birthday
in February, and moving it into March is the arithmetic winning over the
fact. Both are conventions; these are the ones that keep the fact intact.

The mock now carries birthdays on most of its contacts, including one with
no year and one on 29 February, so both cases are visible without a real
address book.

inside it are gone as far as the reader is concerned -- which is a
decoding problem rather than a mail one.

Written from the published format: a signature, a key, then a flat run of
attributes, each one a level byte, a 32-bit id carrying its own type, a
length, the data and a checksum. Attachments are delimited by
attAttachRenddata rather than named, which is why the parse is a small
state machine.

The MAPI property stream inside attAttachment is read for two properties:
the long filename and the MIME type. attAttachTitle carries an 8.3 name,
so a file that arrived as "Quarterly Report Final.docx" is QUARTE~1.DOC
there and correct here. The stream stops at a named property (id >=
0x8000) rather than guessing past it, since those carry a GUID before
their value and nothing after one can be trusted to stay aligned.

Decoded in the browser, on request. The server never sees the contents and
has nowhere to keep a decoded copy; doing the work on sight would spend
the bandwidth whether or not anybody wanted what is inside.

A blob that goes wrong part-way through keeps what was read before that
point, whether it ran out or the checksum stopped matching. Half the
attachments beats none: the alternative is a reader who can see the file
is there and cannot have it. The original stays attached either way.

The message body is deliberately not decoded. TNEF can also carry it as
compressed RTF, which is a second format again for a body the reader
already has in plain text or HTML nine times in ten.

The mock now sends one, built by its own encoder rather than by the
parser's fixtures, so the two are independent implementations of the same
description.

jcoffey-dev f7ef886b45 Nest labels, and let each one say how prominent it is
A flat list is fine at five labels and unreadable at thirty, and there was
no way to keep one that matters occasionally without it holding a row for
ever.

A label can now sit under another, and each says whether it belongs in the
sidebar always, only while it has unread mail, or never.

Nesting is display only. The keywords stay flat on the message, which is
what keeps them readable by every other client: moving a label under
another rewrites nothing in the mailbox, and a client that knows nothing
about ihasmail sees exactly what it always did. Both new fields are
optional, so a settings file written before this parses unchanged and
means what it did.

Settings sync between devices, so the tree has to survive shapes that
should not exist. A label whose parent was deleted on another device comes
back to the top level rather than vanishing -- a label that disappears
because something else was deleted is one the reader cannot get back. A
cycle arriving from an older device is broken by treating the label that
closes the loop as a root, so nothing is lost and nothing hangs. The
parent picker will not offer a label's own descendants, so one cannot be
built here in the first place.

A label kept by the unread rule keeps its ancestors, whatever they were
set to. A child cannot be drawn under a parent that is not there, and
promoting it to the top level would silently rearrange the tree at the
moment the reader is least able to explain why. The parent comes back as a
container instead, and its own count still says whether it has anything of
its own.

Unread counts come from one request carrying a query per label rather than
a request each, with limit 0 so the server does not send ids that would
only be thrown away. They refresh on the same beat as the folder counts,
since the things that move them are the same things, and a failure is
swallowed: a count is decoration, and the sidebar draws the label without
one.

Also corrects the Labels page, which said names and colours are kept in
this browser. They live in the account's own Files and follow it between
devices, like every other setting that is not about this screen.

jcoffey-dev 5b18f1d5d7 Warn about outside senders, large sends and links that mislead
Four warnings, in Privacy & safety, and all of them start switched off.

That is not timidity. A client that begins by interrupting is one people
learn to click through, and a warning clicked through without reading
costs the same attention and buys nothing. The outside-sender warning
could not be on by default in any case: it measures against the domains
that count as yours, and with nothing configured every message in the
mailbox is from outside.

Your own identity domains are always internal and are not configuration.
An account signed in as [email protected] warning that example.com is
external would be absurd, and making it be typed in first is a foot-gun
that leaves the feature useless the moment it is enabled. Configured
domains are additional, and cover their subdomains -- matched on a dot
boundary, so example.com covers mail.example.com and not notexample.com,
which is exactly the domain somebody registers on purpose.

The four:

A banner names the sender's domain on a message from outside.

Sending outside names the outside recipients and asks, rather than
refusing. "This is going outside" is a rule and not something the sender
can check; a list of addresses is. It reads the full identity list rather
than the visible one, since hiding an identity from the From menu does not
make its domain somebody else's.

Sending to a large group asks once the count crosses a threshold, which is
what catches a reply-all onto a long thread. It counts people rather than
headers, so one address in To and nine in Cc is a message to ten.

Opening a link asks when the destination is not trusted, and always when
the link's text names one domain while its destination is another -- even
where that destination is trusted, because being trusted is not the same
as being the place the text claimed. On that mismatch the offer to trust
the domain is withheld: what would be trusted is the destination, and the
destination is not the thing in question. Anything that is not http or
https is left alone, since warning about a mailto: is noise and noise is
how a warning stops being read. Both bodies are covered, because a link in
a plain-text mail is linkified by us and points wherever it likes just as
readily as one the sender marked up.

The click is cancelled and the navigation re-issued after the answer,
since there is no way to hold a real navigation open across a dialog. The
reopen runs in the continuation of the dialog's own click, which is still
the gesture a popup blocker wants to see.

jcoffey-dev 93d0a32af2 Serve ihasmail from a subpath
`BASE_PATH=/mail` mounts the whole app under a prefix, for a host that is not
ihasmail's alone. Unset -- every deployment that exists -- is the domain root
and is byte-for-byte what it was: the canonical form of the setting is the
empty string, and `""` concatenated onto `/api/health` is `/api/health`.

That choice of canonical form is the whole design. A trailing slash would have
been the obvious alternative, and it fails quietly in exactly one place: at the
root it makes `//api/health`, which is not a path on this host but a
protocol-relative URL to a host called `api`. One call site forgetting to
branch is a request leaving the origin. So the empty string, one leading slash,
no trailing one, worked out once in `scripts/basePath.mjs` -- plain JS, next to
`version.mjs`, because the web build and the server both have to reach the same
answer and two implementations of "what does /mail/ mean" is precisely the bug
where the server serves an app whose script tags point somewhere else.
`/mail`, `mail`, `/mail/` and `//mail//` all mean the same mount; a deployment
should not fail over a trailing slash.

Unlike everything else ihasmail is told, this one cannot wait for the process
to start. The bundle writes its own asset URLs into index.html, so `BASE_PATH`
is read at build time for Vite's `base` as well as at run time for the routes,
and the Dockerfile carries one value into both. Get them out of step and the
page comes up blank with a 404 in a console nobody has open -- so the static
handler, which is reading index.html anyway, checks what it asks for and says
so in the log once per build.

Everything moves together. The API mounts at `${base}/api`; the router is
given the base once, so every `<Route path>` and `<Link href>` stays written
root-absolute and wouter does the rest; `apiFetch` adds the prefix in one place
rather than at forty call sites; the session cookie's Path narrows to the mount
so two instances on one host cannot sign each other out.

Two things need no prefix at all, and it is worth saying why they were not
given one. A manifest's members resolve against the manifest's own address, so
relative URLs there follow the mount with nothing substituted at build time --
which is also why `public/` needed no template step. The service worker is the
same trick: it is served from the mount, so `new URL("./", self.location)`
tells it where that is, and a worker that derives the value cannot disagree
with the page that registered it.

Anything outside the mount is a 404 rather than the app shell, and
`stripBasePath` does not use `startsWith` -- under `/mail` this process shares
a hostname, and answering `/mailbox` with our index would shadow a neighbour
instead of letting it 404 honestly. For the same reason the notification-click
handler now checks the path as well as the origin: `includeUncontrolled` widens
`matchAll` to the whole origin, which off the root would have navigated a
stranger's tab to our inbox.

Inline images in a draft were the one silent trap. They are matched by their
blob URL on the way out, once unanchored and once anchored, and a bare
`/api/blob/` still appears inside `/mail/api/blob/...` -- so one pattern would
have replaced the tail and left `/mail` in front of a `cid:`, and the other
would have missed and sent the message linking to the sender's own webmail.
Both patterns are built from the base now.

Archive into a dated folder

jcoffey-dev 7d9a01cb93 Swipe the calendar sideways to step a day or a month
The calendar had next and previous as toolbar buttons and n/p, and nothing
for a thumb. Every other surface in the app that a finger drives already
answers to a swipe.

Day and month only. Those are the two views where a period is a page;
week and agenda scroll through a range rather than turning to the next
one, so there is nothing a sideways flick would obviously mean. Dragging
left pulls the next period in from the right, the way paper and every
phone do it.

Three things it deliberately does not do.

It draws nothing while the finger moves. The row swipe slides the row open
because the strip underneath has to name which of six actions is about to
happen; stepping a calendar has two outcomes and the direction of the
finger already says which. Translating the grid would also break the
sticky day header, since a transform makes a containing block. The
threshold is reported by the vibration motor instead, which is what the
haptics are for.

It does not start on an event. Which gesture was meant is decidable at the
moment the finger lands and only then, so dragging an event stays
available to be built later without having to be untangled from this
first.

And it asks for a longer drag than a row swipe -- not because the
consequence is bigger, since stepping back undoes it while a swiped row
has already been archived, but because this gesture has no way to change
its mind. A row reveals what it will do and can be let go early, and
offers Undo after. This shows nothing and offers nothing, so the distance
is the only chance to not mean it.

The axis lock is the shared one, keeping its bias towards the vertical:
the day grid scrolls through the hours, and a scroll misread as a swipe
throws the reader into another day. The toolbar buttons and n/p stay,
because a gesture with no visible control is one only the people who
already know about it can use.

jcoffey-dev 785570a41d Archive into a dated folder
Archiving put everything in one folder, so an Archive that has been
collecting for years is a single flat list with no way to narrow it except
search.

Archive by year and Archive by month file into Archive/2026 and
Archive/2026/09, creating the folders as needed and reusing them after
that, including folders made by hand or by another client.

The names are numeric and zero-padded rather than month names, because
these are real server-side mailboxes rather than anything of ihasmail's.
Every other client sees them: a folder created as "September" by someone
reading in English stays "September" for the same account read in
Japanese, since the name is stored and not translated. And 09 sorts
between 08 and 10 where a name does not.

The date is read in the reader's own timezone rather than UTC so it agrees
with the date shown against the message in the list. A message that
arrived at 00:30 UTC on 1 September is dated 31 August in New York, and
filing it under 09 while the list says August would be the app
disagreeing with itself. A message whose date cannot be read goes to
Archive itself rather than to a folder named after a guess.

A selection spanning two months is two destinations, not one. The moves
are made silently and one toast names where everything went -- the folder
where there is a single answer, the count where there is not -- because
each group raising its own toast with its own Undo would mean undoing a
third of a move. One Undo restores the whole selection to wherever each
message came from, captured before anything moved.

The menu labels name the destination where there is one, so it reads
"Archive to 2026/09" rather than describing the rule, and falls back to
"Archive by month" for a selection with no single answer.
2026-09-01 22:06:33 -07:00
jcoffey-dev 0db795371e Forward a message as an attachment
Forwarding quoted the original into a new message, which is the right
thing for passing on something to be read and the wrong thing for passing
on something to be looked at. Quoting rewrites the body, drops the
headers, and re-parents the attachments, so a bounce, a phishing report or
anything else where the message itself is the evidence arrived altered.

Forward as attachment sends the message whole, as a message/rfc822 part.
It costs no upload at all: a message's own blobId is its RFC822 blob and
already lives in the account, so this goes through the same by-reference
path as attach-from-Files and a 40 MB message attaches as fast as a small
one.

It is in the message's own menu, the list's right-click menu, and the
overflow on the reply strip at the foot of a thread, which is the one a
thumb finds on a phone.

Two things fixed on the way, both exposed rather than introduced by this.

The filename rule was subject.replace(/[^\w.-]+/g, "_"), and \w without
the u flag is ASCII: every character of a Russian, Japanese or Chinese
subject failed the class, so those messages downloaded as a row of
underscores. What is actually unsafe in a filename is much shorter than
"not ASCII" -- path separators, the names Windows reserves, the control
range -- so the rule now keeps letters from any script and drops only
those. It lives in one place and the .eml download uses it too.

And the composer's attachment chip set overflow/text-overflow on a span,
where neither does anything, so the name never truncated and the size ran
on after it on the same line. Only long names showed it, which is every
.eml named from a subject.

jcoffey-dev 63c2839602 Show what the spam filter said, in the message details
The filter in front of the mailbox scores every delivered message and
writes its working into headers, and none of it was being read. A message
in Junk gave no reason for being there.

Nothing here scores anything. The headers are parsed and shown, so this
cannot disagree with the filter that actually made the decision.

Two formats cover what sits in front of a Stalwart mailbox in practice:
the SpamAssassin-shaped X-Spam-* set, which Stalwart's own filter writes,
and Rspamd's X-Spamd-Result. A header in neither shape is left unread
rather than guessed at, since a misparsed score shown confidently is worse
than no panel at all. Mail that arrived without any of them shows nothing.

Rules are listed largest mover first and signed, because which way a rule
pushed is the point, and the biggest contributor is the answer to why the
message scored what it did.

Two things it deliberately will not do. A score is always given the
threshold it was measured against, because 6.7 is damning against 5 and
unremarkable against 15 -- the number alone is not something a reader can
act on; where no threshold was stated, it says so rather than implying
one. And where the filter recorded no verdict, none is derived from score
against threshold: the filter applies policy we cannot see, and putting a
verdict in its mouth would be inventing one.

The mock writes the same headers at delivery -- spam in Junk, clean in the
Inbox, nothing on mail this account wrote -- so the panel can be developed
and demoed against it.

jcoffey-dev c85525f3ed Fill placeholders when a template is inserted
Templates were a fixed subject and body, so anything that changed per
message -- who it is going to, today's date -- had to be typed over
afterwards.

Eight names are recognised: recipientName, recipientFirstName,
recipientEmail, myName, myEmail, subject, date and time. Dates and times
go through datetime.ts rather than toLocaleDateString, so a template
follows the date order and clock the app was already told to use.

Filling happens on insert rather than on send. What a placeholder came to
is then visible in the composer and can be edited, instead of the message
changing between writing it and sending it.

Two things are deliberately left alone. A placeholder that cannot be
answered yet -- a recipient's name on a draft nobody has addressed -- stays
in the body as written, because substituting an empty string produces
"Hi ,", which is wrong rather than visibly unfinished; leaving the name
says which word is still missing and can be typed over. And a name that is
not a placeholder is left as written too, since a body that quietly ate an
unrecognised token would be worse than one that shows it.

Values are escaped on the way into HTML: a display name comes from a
contact card or a typed address and is not trusted markup.

jcoffey-dev 00b580bad8 Select more than one file at a time
Moving or deleting five files meant doing it five times, each with its own
confirm. Rows now select the way they do in a file manager: a plain click
replaces the selection, ctrl or cmd adds and removes one, shift takes the
run from the last row clicked, clicking past the last row or pressing
Escape clears it. Two or more selected raises a bar with Move to... and
Delete, and the row menu offers the same for the whole selection.

The move is one `FileNode/set` rather than a loop, and not only for the
round trip: a loop would apply half the moves and then throw, leaving a
selection split across two folders with nothing saying which half went.
One call is one answer, and `notUpdated` names whatever the server
refused.

Right-clicking inside the selection acts on all of it; right-clicking
outside means you meant that row, so the selection follows the pointer
rather than the menu quietly applying to something off-screen. A drag
carries the whole selection the same way, which is why the payload is now
a list -- and why a drop is refused unless every file in it can land,
since a drag that moves four of five and skips the fifth is worse than
one that will not start.

A selection belongs to the folder it was made in, so changing folder or
account drops it: rows left selected off-screen make the delete two
folders later a surprise.

jcoffey-dev 15f2c3d357 Read a Markdown file as the document it is
A .md previewed as its own source, which is reading the punctuation
rather than the notes. It now opens rendered, with Rendered | Source in
the dialog footer for anyone who wants what the file actually says.
Markdown only; a .txt has nothing to toggle between.

Rendering is `marked`, sanitised by DOMPurify -- the one the app already
carries for mail. Markdown is not a safe subset of anything: raw HTML
passes through it by design, so a <script> in a file somebody uploaded or
shared into the account is a script tag unless something takes it out.

Images become links rather than pictures. An image in a Markdown file is
either a relative path, which has no base to resolve against here, or a
URL somewhere else, which fetches on open and tells that server the file
was read -- the tracking pixel this app blocks in mail. The link keeps
the alt text and the address, so nothing vanishes silently.

Fixes the PDF preview while here, which never worked: securityHeaders
put X-Frame-Options: DENY on every response including the blob route, so
the iframe showed Chrome's "refused to connect" where the file should
have been -- in Files today and in mail attachments long before that.
The middleware now leaves a header the route has set, and a PDF served
inline says SAMEORIGIN. Nothing else on the server is framable.
2026-09-01 20:32:59 -07:00
jcoffey-dev 984f0474e3 Look at a file without downloading it first
Files could only hand you the bytes: double-clicking a picture put it on
disk and left you to find it. The viewer for this already existed --
images, PDFs and text, in the attachment preview in MessageView -- it was
just wired to one screen. It is now a component both screens use.

Two things it needed before it was any use on Files. The type detection
falls back to the file name: an upload carries whatever the browser
guessed, which for anything unusual is application/octet-stream, so the
old exact-type check saw nothing to show in a .md that had just been
uploaded. And text is read with fetch, which ignores Content-Disposition,
so Markdown previews even though the server will not serve it inline.

Whether we can show a file and whether the server will serve it inline
are separate questions, and lib/preview.ts answers them separately:
`openableInTab` mirrors the isInlineSafe allowlist in the blob route,
because navigating to a blob the server will not inline just starts a
download. SVG is left out of both -- it carries script, and how to show
one safely is its own question, not a detail of a file lister.

Printing goes with it. A picture or a text file prints from the dialog
with everything else dropped; a PDF prints itself from its own iframe,
since the page around it cannot paginate someone else's document. Hiding
`.app` alone was not enough there -- `#root` kept its height and printed a
blank first page, the same trap as the message card.
2026-09-01 20:18:51 -07:00
jcoffey-dev f25b559cb5 Take the message you were reading into the selection
Ctrl-clicking a second message selected only the second. The first stayed
highlighted, because it was the one open -- which is a different state
wearing a similar colour -- and was never actually selected. So both looked
picked, one was, and every action that followed applied to half of what the
screen showed, silently.

The cause is visible once the two rules sit together: shift-click took the
whole run *including* the row it started from, and ctrl-click took only the
row clicked. Two branches of one handler that had drifted apart, with
nothing asserting they agreed.

So they are one function now, and tested. Ctrl-click brings the current row
with it while nothing is selected yet; once there is a selection it toggles
exactly one row, which is what it is for. Shift-click is unchanged, and
keeps its anchor where it is so extending a range twice grows it from the
same place rather than from wherever it last reached.

The last test asserts the property that failed rather than the branches:
whichever modifier begins a selection, the anchor is in it.

jcoffey-dev e1402e472f Schedule against the whole guest list, and say who cannot be read
The availability bar showed the guests it had free/busy for and quietly
left out the ones it did not. In one row that is survivable. As a grid it
would be a lie: a row with nothing in it reads as a diary with nothing in
it, and "we cannot see this person's calendar" is the one thing that must
not look like "this person is free".

So everyone the event concerns now gets a row, and the ones with no
free/busy to read are drawn hatched rather than empty, with a line under
the grid saying how many and why. You get a row too, first. Scheduling
around the other people and not around yourself is how two things end up
at the same time, and the organiser was the one calendar the panel never
showed.

Your own row is never unknown. Where the directory does not list you under
the address your identity sends from -- an alias, a login that differs
from the address -- the account is still yours to read, and Stalwart
answers for it under the account's own id.

The window steps backwards and forwards a screenful at a time without
touching the event, which is the "movable forwards & backwards" the report
asks for, and offers its way back when you have wandered off.

And the bars are somewhere to put the event rather than only something to
read: the pointer shows the half hour it is over, and a click moves the
event there keeping its length. Clicking while stepped away moves the
event to where you clicked and returns the view to it, so it lands where
you were looking instead of jumping.

Free/busy is answered per principal, and only the server's own accounts
are principals. Somebody at another domain has none to read -- which is
not a gap to be closed, it is what the protocol can see -- so the grid
says so rather than drawing them blank.

Closes #172
2026-09-01 10:05:50 -07:00
jcoffey-dev c4649e0084 Say what the availability bar is showing, and show all of it
The bar was a day wide whatever it was drawing. It began at midnight on
the event's start day and stopped 24 hours later, so an event running over
two days showed availability for the first of them and gave no sign there
was more. And it carried no marks at all, which left "is this the whole
day or only working hours" unanswerable without dragging the event about
to see where its own outline moved.

It now covers whole days from the day the event starts to the day it ends,
and the free/busy lookup asks for the same range it draws. Above the bars
is an axis: hours every three across a single day, every six across two,
day names beyond that. The marks are drawn down the bars too, so a busy
block can be read against the hour it starts at rather than guessed at.

Whole days, always. A bar starting at the event's own start time would
move under the reader every time they adjusted it, and "busy from about a
third of the way along" is not a time anybody can read.

A week is as far as it goes. Something running longer is not an event
anybody is hunting a free slot in, and a month at eight pixels a day would
say nothing; it says how many days it left out instead.

The span is measured between two real midnights rather than counted in
24-hour days, because twice a year they differ, and every position on the
bar is a fraction of it.

The mock answered with a single busy block on the first day whatever range
it was asked for -- all a day-wide bar could show -- which would have left
a multi-day bar looking like everyone was free from the second day on. It
now answers across the range.

This is parts 1 and 2 of #172. The separate multi-day scheduling view it
also asks for is still open, and needs an answer first on what to show for
participants who have no free/busy to read.

jcoffey-dev fc0e2b2b3e Import an address book in LDIF
Somebody arriving from SOGo, Thunderbird or an LDAP directory has their
contacts in LDIF, and until now the only way in was vCard.

Nothing on the server reads LDIF, so this reads it here, in two pieces
that are two different problems. `ldif.ts` is RFC 2849 and nothing else:
folded lines, base64 values, case-insensitive attribute names, options,
comments, `version:` headers, change records. It knows no attribute by
name. `mozillaAb.ts` knows the attributes and no syntax -- Mozilla's
address book schema, which is what Thunderbird and SOGo write and what the
issue asks for by name. LDIF says nothing about what any attribute means,
so a file is only readable against a schema, and keeping the two apart is
what would let a second schema be added without touching the reader.

Work and home addresses, which the schema keeps in two separate sets of
attributes, come across as two addresses. So do every phone kind, the
second email, the organisation and its units, job title, nickname, web
pages and the AIM handle. The four custom fields have no equivalent in
JSContact and are appended to the note, labelled as Thunderbird labels
them: keeping something somebody chose to write down is worth more than
the tidiness of dropping it.

An entry with neither a name nor an address is skipped rather than
imported as a blank row that is impossible to identify and tedious to find
again to delete. The distinguished name is not used as the contact's uid:
it says where an entry sat in somebody else's directory.

One import control takes either format and decides by what is in the file
rather than by what it is called, because an address book exported as LDIF
arrives as .ldif, .ldi, .txt or with no extension at all.

jcoffey-dev d3e173c9c1 Ask before the filter editors lose your changes
Both editors on the Filters & rules page kept their edits in component
state, so every way out of the page threw them away without a word: a
settings link, the app rail, even the Rules/Scripts switch. The only sign
there had been anything to lose was a Save button that a screenful of
rules had already pushed below the fold.

Editors now register what they have pending, and every in-app navigation
asks first -- offering to save, rather than making "leave without saving"
the easy answer and saving the one you have to back out and find. Wouter
routes links, redirects and navigate() through one place, so the guard
holds for the app rail and the settings nav without either knowing an
editor exists. The Rules/Scripts switch asks for itself, since it never
reaches the router. Reload and tab close get the browser's own prompt.

The save bar is pinned to the foot of the pane, so "Unsaved changes" is
on screen whether or not the rules fit in the window.

Two things fixed on the way past, both in the raw script editor: saving
cleared only the selection, which left the editor open with the name
unlocked so a second save created a duplicate script instead of updating
the one just written; and the pair of identical nested conditions that
decided whether the editor was open at all is now the one question it was
asking twice.

Fixes #175

jcoffey-dev b862f61cde Invite the people the message was already between
Follow-up to #167: an event made from a mail now opens with the sender
and everyone it was addressed to already in the guest list, so a thread
becomes a meeting without retyping the room.

Two things are deliberately left out. The reader's own addresses, since
they are the organiser and an organiser among their own guests is an
invitation to your own appointment. And a blind copy, on a message the
reader sent: a guest list is visible to every guest, so promoting a Bcc
to a guest would tell the room about a copy the sender chose to hide.
That is not something a menu item may do quietly.

*Send invitation emails to guests* now starts off when the guests were
inherited rather than typed, and on everywhere else -- which is every
event whose guests somebody chose one at a time. The reason is the case
the issue opened with: a reminder made out of a bill carries the biller
and everyone else on the mail. Left on, the primary button reads Send
invites and the first press mails all of them an invitation to what was
meant as a note to self. The switch sits right there under the list and
says what it does, so inviting them is one deliberate click. Un-sending
is not.

jcoffey-dev 7ba749148f Make an event out of a message
Asked for in #167: a right-click on a mail that turns it into a calendar
entry, the way a bill or a task becomes a reminder. Nothing clever, and
deliberately so -- the subject becomes the title, the body becomes the
description, and the reader supplies the one thing the message cannot.

A due date is exactly that thing. "Due on the 14th" in an invoice is not
a date a parser could be trusted with, and a wrong guess quietly
scheduled is worse than no guess at all, so the editor opens on the next
half hour for an hour and the reader fixes it. Forward rather than now,
because a start time that has already passed by the time they press
Create is one more thing to correct.

The body is capped at 5000 characters. A newsletter is a message too,
and its whole body would be stored on the event, synced to every device,
and shown in a three-row textarea; what is worth keeping -- the amount,
the account, the address -- is near the top. The cut is marked, so a
truncated bill is not read as the whole of it.

One message only. The list menu acts on the selection everywhere else,
but there is no sensible event to make out of five mails, and the mobile
entry appears only when exactly one row is held.

The editor lives inside CalendarView and the reader is in the mail view
when they ask, so the draft waits in the calendar store until that view
mounts and takes it -- once, or it would reopen on every later visit.
It seeds a form rather than an event: the dialog still says New event
and still has to be pressed.

Called *Create event…* rather than "appointment", which is the word the
issue used: it opens the New event dialog, and each catalogue already
has its own settled noun for that -- Termin, événement, 日程.

Reachable three ways, since a phone has no right-click: the row context
menu, a message's ⋮, and the ⋮ of a held row on mobile. Hidden entirely
where the account has no calendar.

jcoffey-dev 635c4c7e52 Keep a settings change made before the first read, and wait for it
Two defects on the path that decides what language the app starts in.

**A change made before the settings file came back was thrown away.**
`queueSettingsPush` returned early while unarmed, dropping the value
instead of holding it, so a language picked in the second or so after a
page load was never written up: it survived until the next reload and no
further. That is a better account of "sometimes it takes several clicks"
than the remount race fixed in #160 — the click that stuck was one made
after the read had finished. Keeping it is safe because hydrate already
refuses to overwrite a key that is still queued.

Proof it was real: before this, no `ihasmail` folder was ever created in
the account's files, because the seed write never fired. After it, the
folder appears.

**Without a cached settings object the tree painted too early.** The
cache is not read on an untrusted device, and it is cleared by the
sign-out that every deploy causes, so in both cases the first frame is
the defaults — and the defaults are English. Anything computed in that
window is computed in the wrong language. The interface recovers, since
it is rebuilt when the catalogue lands, but a string emitted once does
not: this is why the stale-folder toast came out in English on an
otherwise German screen.

So without a cache the authenticated tree now waits for the account's
settings and their catalogue, which costs nothing — there was nothing
worth painting yet. With a cache it does not wait, and the first frame is
as quick as it was.

Neither fix makes the toast German yet: the account settings file is
neither written nor read successfully in the mock, and both failures are
swallowed. That is a third problem, and this commit does not touch it.

jcoffey-dev ba4d2105a4 Merge main: the list subject stays notranslate and gains its translated fallback
Both sides of the conflict belong. The span holds a subject, which is the
sender's words and not ours to machine-translate; the text shown when
there is no subject is ours, and should follow the interface language.

jcoffey-dev a6863e98cc Second extraction pass: the strings the codemod could not see
`i18n:coverage` reported 100% while a hundred-odd strings rendered
English in every language. It was not wrong about what it measured: it
reads JSX text, and none of these were JSX text. They were toast
arguments, `confirmDialog({ title, confirmLabel })` props, `title=` and
`aria-label=` attributes, and template literals — every one built from an
expression the codemod cannot read.

176 source strings and 15 plural sets now go through t() and plural(),
translated into all nine languages. Where English put a word in a slot,
the sentence is spelled out per branch instead: `Filter ${verb}` became
"Filter saved" and "Filter created", because which word agrees with what,
and where it sits, is not a property English gets to decide for everyone.
Counts that were `${n} message${n === 1 ? "" : "s"}` are plural() calls,
so Russian and Ukrainian get three forms and Japanese and Chinese get the
one they actually have.

Two of the catalogue's own conventions were worth learning the hard way.
Plural entries are keyed on the English *other* form, not `one` — `one`
is a form English happens to have and Japanese does not. And a constant
table holding English that is translated at the render site is fine: the
literal is a key, not a leak.

Which is what the new check encodes. `scripts/i18n-literals.mjs` accepts
a string that is wrapped where it is written or is a catalogue key
somewhere, and refuses one that is neither — a string no catalogue can
translate, however many languages ship. It found twenty more than my own
sweep had, including the stale-folder toast seen in production. It runs
as part of `npm run i18n:check`.

Also fixed: the catalogue is now awaited before the first paint. The
tree is rebuilt when a catalogue lands, so components recover on their
own, but a string computed in an effect does not — a toast fired in that
gap is emitted in English and stays English. The wait costs nothing
visible, since the session bootstrap already shows a spinner and English
resolves immediately.

And the Japanese agenda title loses a space Japanese does not use:
"{date} からの予定" was written with the English habit of spacing around
a placeholder.
